I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU with 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm considering upgrading to the RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM. Is my motherboard compatible, or will I need to upgrade it as well? Thanks for any advice!

Your motherboard has PCIe Gen 4 support, which is good; however, the RTX 5060 Ti will run in x8 mode instead of x16. This won't drastically slow down performance, but if you're primarily gaming, you might want to consider the RX 9060 XT 16GB instead, as it's a x16 card and is likely to give you better overall performance for gaming without requiring a motherboard upgrade.
Honestly, I'd recommend going for the RX 9060 XT 16GB. It's generally cheaper and can provide comparable or even better gaming performance than the RTX 5060 Ti.
Yes, your B550M-HDV motherboard will support the RTX 5060 Ti without any issues. It's designed to be compatible with a wide range of modern GPUs.
